LifeTime creates tabular and graphical output for fatigue analysis runs. The main analysis results (i.e. in terms of fatigue life, damage etc.) are presented in the main output file named jobname.out, where jobname is the name of your LifeTime analysis. This file also contains “debug” output, which presents results from the program intermediate calculations for each individual seastate (i.e. each Flexcom analysis), for checking and interpreting the main analysis results. A plot file (entitled jobname.mplt) is also created which graphically illustrates the minimum fatigue life at each hot spot from each of the three LifeTime methods.
